TamTam will be having a Mickey Mouse themed party in school. Well, he is so inlove with Mickey Mouse especially the Hotdog dance!

I already booked a cupcake supplier and was able to buy party souvenirs / give aways online. I am also thinking of sending personalized invites to his classmates so I need to look for someone who can do envelope printing nicely. Hmm… should I really send invites?

I am so excited for my lil’ boy!!!

Promise, I will try to update my blog regularly. It’s just that I am so busy with my motherhood duties… Anyway, our lil’ girl just turned nine months the other day and our lil’ boy, TamTam will be celebrating his 3rd birthday in school! Yes, he is now attending Nursery 1 class. Time really flies so fast…

Next time, I’ll upload some of their recent pictures before TamTam delete it from my iPhone! Grrr, he deleted some of my pictures before I had the chance to backed them up. I should get a cd duplicators since I want to save my pictures in multiples. Well, the photos of my kids are so precious to me… That’s why I have 4,000+ pictures in my iPhone.

It’s past 2:00 AM and I am very much awake… I couldn’t sleep because of my back ache. So here I am blog hopping. Oh, I just want to share this blog entry for all the married couples. This entry, After Saying I Do, Go Build a Hedge!, was posted by Joy T. Mendoza in her blog. It was long but it’s worth reading…

For this year, I will try my very best to:

1. Be organized! And because of that, I want personalized portfolios.

2. Be very very very patient with the kiddos (only).

3. Be more health conscious.

4. Stop complaining.

5. Be more friendly and nice.

6. Be always thankful.

7.  SAVE! SAVE! SAVE!

8. Be nice to everybody.

9. Always say thank you.

10. Smile.

11. Always look good.

12. Clean my closet! Let go of those old clothes that I am no longer using.

13. Exercise!

14. Read at least three books in one year.

15. Listen.

This is my first post for the year 2013! I have no entry for the month of December because we don’t have an internet connection in Manila… Yes, we just came back from our three weeks vacation and it was so bitin! I have so many stories to tell… observations, insights and experiences from our recent vacation.

Here’s our December activities:

December 17, we attended my cousin’s wedding. TamTam is a bible bearer and we are just so proud of our lil’ boy!

December 22, TingTing’s Baptism. Gosh, I should make a separate post for this since I have lots of horror stories to tell. *Sigh*.

December 25, Christmas Day!

December 28, Alvin and I celebrated our seven years of togetherness. No fancy celebration… it’s more of  a family trip; we just visit the land where Alvin and I dream to build our very own ‘home’. The land is from the South so it was a really new experienced from us since we are from the North. Thanks to my brother’s GPS application, we found the place! His iPad deserves the best crimson mounts available for cars. Anyways, it was just a short trip… and the weather was too hot!

December 30, we attended the Alday’s Family Reunion. Alvin and the kiddos were not included in the picture  because TamTam got fever that day and Alvin is looking after TingTing who is sleeping by that time.

Happy New Year!!!

We already started shopping for Christmas gifts… and this year I want to have a more personalized gifts for everyone. And Pinterest inspires my creative side (if there’s any!:D. As a start, I am looking for a simple yet elegant gift wrapping ideas. I also want a unique and crafty gift tags that will work on my budget, and then a friend of mine recommends this cheap business card printing online. For other materials, I need to check scrapbooking stores and Ikea.

I’m so excited for Christmas!!!

I usually put up the Christmas tree after Halloween… But since we will be leaving on the first week of December for our annual holiday break, I decided not to decorate our house here. It’s not that I am not excited for Christmas but I don’t have that much time. Looking after two kids are sooo tiring. Our helper is basically doing houseworks only.

Up to now, I haven’t buy any presents… I am still waiting for some mall sales and I want a more personalized gifts this time. For a change; a bike rack for suvs is a good choice for those health buff wannabes, spa gift certificates for girl friends, massage vouchers for the elderly and educational toys for the kids. Hmmm…

It’s 50 days to go before Christmas!!!

This is TamTam’s new hobby… Playing the guitar and keyboard. I think a selection of wonderful digital pianos will make him super happy this coming Christmas holiday.

Our lil’ boy is such a darling… he never fails to make us smile.

Cebu Pacific is having their Piso Fare again! I already booked our ticket for next year… for 2 adults, 1 child and 1 infant, fare is $396.50 with 40kg of baggage allowance. I still have to reserve / buy seats for $60.

It was Lolee who told me to that Cebu Pacific will be having another seat sale so we waited until midnight. Atat much! And because of that seat sale, I forgot to find North Face jackets for our friends who are based overseas. So sorry, but the Piso Fare is selling like hotcakes! Thanks to our fast internet connection, I was able to avail their promo!

My last post is exactly one month ago! Anyway, here’s our lil’ princess on her 3rd month:

*****

A few days ago before her birthday, she had fever… We had to bring her to Raffles Clinic in Tampines since it was already past 5PM. At the clinic, her temperature was 38.4C so a Paracetamol was given to her. For the whole night I had to monitor her temperature every hour. Thank God, no fever was recorded. But at around 9AM, she started to have fever again… I had to bring her again to her PD, Dr.YY Yip, but he is no longer accepting walk in patient. It was Dr. Ngiam who checked her… According to the doctor, her lungs and throat is still okay and it’s best to separate her from Kuya and Dad, who are suffering from cough and colds until now! He even told me that at Ting Ting’s age, fever should not run for more than three days and that she should be admitted to the hospital if her fever did not stop and if she shows difficulty in breathing… After that check up, no more fever though she was coughing occasionally.

And on her 3rd Month Birthday, she was sleeping so soundly most of the time… recovering from sickness. Thank you God for healing my lil’ darling.
